1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 57 It seems that there is a lot to be done in the next ten years!
Pingcun Brigade.

At the chicken farm, Su Wenchen was looking through the food consumption and approximate egg production records of more than a hundred chickens.

Hou Guozhong came out of the brooder house and saw Su Wenchen looking through the data he had recorded during the day.

His face was very excited, with an expression of joy that he could not suppress, and he walked over quickly.

"Director Su, I have good news for you. Your Pingcun Brigade seems to be very conducive to the growth of this kind of hens."

"You know what? I also record the hens' eating and egg-laying data on time every day in Shiquan."

"These more than 100 hens in Shiquan generally eat about 40 kilograms of feed every day, and lay less than 20 kilograms of eggs every day."

Then he pointed at the feeding trough and introduced it to Su Wenchen.

"But you see, after coming here, these chickens seem to have a much better appetite. Today, your team's comrade Wuniu and I have fed them twice, a total of nearly 50 kilograms of feed, but these chickens still seem to have a very good appetite."

"I don't dare to feed them now, for fear that they will get sick."

Su Wenchen looked at the hens in the cage and found that after eating during the day, the breeding progress of his current batch of hens had been completed.

As the egg production of this batch of chickens has increased, their food intake has naturally increased a lot as well.

So Su Wenchen asked curiously, "How many eggs were laid today?"

"Twenty-six pounds!" Hou Guozhong replied without hesitation.

“And I think that these chickens are adapting so well now, maybe they’ll be able to produce 30 kilograms of eggs tomorrow!”

As if thinking that Su Wenchen didn't understand, Hou Guozhong added another sentence.

"Director Su, this ratio is already very high. It means that you can harvest one kilogram of eggs for every two kilograms of feed you put in. And I see that grain only accounts for a little over half of your feed!"

"This way your costs will be lower! This is something that many state-owned farms cannot do. In the past, we only fed corn and soybean meal, but we couldn't reach your level."

Su Wenchen felt a little emotional in his heart.

Maybe it's because you feed all grains and the other elements are too low, so the egg production is not that high.

However, after hearing Hou Guozhong's words, he had already started calculating in his mind.

If we calculate based on 30 kilograms of eggs, selling them to the supply and marketing cooperative would cost 21 yuan a day.

Of the fifty kilograms of feed, half is coarse grains.

According to the price their brigade gave to their own people, coarse grains were six cents per pound.

The cost price is one dollar and fifty cents a day.

However, the daily production of eggs may be more than 30 kilograms, so he can probably earn 600 yuan in these 30 days.

Hiss! But this amount of money is definitely not small.

After all, the whole family had saved together for so many years, but they only saved a total of 700 yuan.

I can earn six hundred a month now, which is definitely a huge profit.

It's a pity that we can't do too much of this kind of thing that skirts the policy line.

Besides, if Lao Gao hadn’t stepped forward to take the blame this time, he would not have been able to get the money.

Now that the chicken farm has been completed, he also has to think about how to develop it in the future that will be most beneficial to him.

During the process of building the chicken farm, Su Wenchen's own ideas were actually changing little by little. At first, he just wanted to build a small chicken farm to avoid being lazy.

After all, working in the fields is too hard.

At that time, he just wanted to endure for ten years, and then become a rich man and enjoy life after the reform and opening up.

However, during the process of establishing the chicken farm, some people or things kept influencing his ideas.

He is so young now, but he is already the manager of a collective chicken farm with 500 chickens.

So could he have made some efforts in other directions during these ten years or so?

According to him, the director of Shiquan Chicken Farm is a state cadre at the 14th administrative level.

If his chicken farm reaches the same scale as Shiquan Chicken Farm, will he also be given a corresponding establishment?
This is just a single chicken farm. If we develop other breeding projects and establish a large-scale comprehensive state-owned farm, the establishment will also increase accordingly.

According to his understanding, some large state-owned farms in this era have high administrative levels.

Thinking of this, Su Wenchen's breathing became slightly rapid.

From this perspective, it seems that there is a lot to be done in these ten years! Being enlisted and landing a job is the ultimate dream of many of them.

Moreover, in this era, many precious bills and the like can only be obtained by joining the system.

Even if it was just to make his life more comfortable, he had to find a way to join in, because if he didn't join, he would have to wait another ten years before he could do anything else.

As for ten years later, we'll see then.

Maybe he will have climbed high enough by then! Then there will be no sea!

So in order to realize this idea, what he needs to do now is to work hard to expand the scale of the chicken farm, and gradually transform this chicken farm from a collective industry of the production team into a state-owned industry under the county.

However, becoming a state-owned industry has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can get support from the county and can connect with the channels of the county supply and marketing cooperative.

As for the disadvantages, of course, there is the addition of a mother-in-law, which puts a lot of constraints on people.

However, Su Wenchen thought about it and felt that if the chicken farm wanted to expand its scale, it could only choose to change the attributes of the industry, otherwise the breeding industry would be doomed to fail to expand.

Because the total amount of food for their brigade was fixed, raising one thousand chickens was already close to the upper limit.

If there are more, it will affect the members' own food rations. In this kind of thing, I guess Su's father will be the first one to jump out and oppose it.

Therefore, if the chicken farm wants to expand its scale, it must go the state-owned route.

In this way, the county will come forward to coordinate large-scale coarse grains for you with the city, and at the same time, the higher-ups will also issue corresponding egg-laying tasks.

After all, it is a planned economy, and the whole country is like a chessboard.

"Director Su? Are you still listening?"

Hou Guozhong shouted tentatively.

Su Wenchen regained his senses instantly and said apologetically.

"Sorry, Master Hou, I was a little distracted just now. I was thinking about the next step for the development of the chicken farm."

Hou Guozhong waved his hand.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This is your job as the farm manager. But I think it's difficult for your chicken farm to expand."

"Oh! Why does Master Hou think so?" Su Wenchen asked curiously.

"The first is the issue of feed, which is not a big problem. The second is the issue of staff, which is more difficult to deal with."

"If you have always been raising a few hundred chickens on a small scale, then it's fine, because a few people can feed them all."

"But once the scale is expanded, more people will be needed. You can't just give work points to everyone at that time! But once you pay wages, the attraction will instantly increase a lot."

"And if more people come to the chicken farm, the number of members in your team who farm the land will decrease accordingly, and the members who are still farming will have to take on more work."

“This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among these people.”

"If you don't recruit people from your own brigade, but go to other brigades to recruit people, then the members will not agree. Anyway, this matter will be difficult to handle."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go check on the chicks. I hope your chicken farm can be expanded."

"Only in this way can these hybrid chickens become more and more famous!"

After listening to Hou Guozhong’s analysis.

Su Wenchen increasingly felt that only by transforming into a state-owned industry could it develop and grow.

However, he needs to consider carefully when and how to turn.

We can’t let their team suffer any loss in this matter!

　My brothers have entered the second round. The editor said that they could have skipped to the third round, but they were so busy typing that they reported it late.

　　It’s uncomfortable, and I don’t know if I can still enter the third round through the normal process.

　　The young author is begging everyone here to turn to the latest chapter and read it.

　　I know that many people like to raise books, but I still hope that everyone will start the raising book mode after the books are put on the shelves.

　　Because the recommendations before the product is put on the shelves are all based on follow-up reading.

　　Thank you in advance to everyone who reads!!
　　I wish you good fortune! Good fortune! Good fortune!
